Eating babies ... Is this sentence an extraposition?

A rumor began circulating among the people that the queen was an ogress and had eaten her own child.

The bold subordinate clause modifies "a rumor", but is this considered extraposition? Normally, extraposition involves a dummy pronoun as the subject.
